From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 01:02:33 +0000 (+0100) Subject: ptrace, x86: fix the usage of ptrace_fork() X-Git-Tag: v2.6.29-rc5~34^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=06eb23b1ba39c61ee5d5faeb42a097635693e370;p=pandora-kernel.git ptrace, x86: fix the usage of ptrace_fork() I noticed by pure accident we have ptrace_fork() and friends. This was added by "x86, bts: add fork and exit handling", commit bf53de907dfdaac178c92d774aae7370d7b97d20. I can't test this, ds_request_bts() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, but I strongly believe this needs the fix. I think something like this program int main(void) { int pid = fork(); if (!pid) { ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, NULL, NULL); kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); fork(); } else { struct ptrace_bts_config bts = { .flags = PTRACE_BTS_O_ALLOC, .size = 4 * 4096, }; wait(NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, NULL, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK); ptrace(PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG, pid, &bts, sizeof(bts)); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL); sleep(1); } return 0; } should crash the kernel. If the task is traced by its natural parent ptrace_reparented() returns 0 but we should clear ->btsxxx anyway.
